Abstract:

Even if many imagine that the order of the village world has remained unchanged since ancient times, we must be aware that the Romanian folk costume is, and has been, in a continuous change, always influenced by the city fashion. This phenomenon is more prevalent in Transylvania and Banat, regions where Western influence has been stronger. This paper focuses on Banat, an area where several cultures met, cultures that influenced each other.
